Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak are reportedly nearing the signing of former Ghana international Mubarak Wakaso on a short-term deal, according to GHANAsoccernet.com.
The 34-year-old midfielder is expected to join the Phobians as they strengthen their squad for the second half of the ongoing season.
Renowned for his tenacity and exceptional passing range, Wakaso has been a free agent since leaving Chinese Super League side Shenzhen FC in January 2024.
He briefly returned to Shenzhen in mid-2023 after a loan stint with Belgian side KAS Eupen, where he made 10 appearances in all competitions.
Wakaso boasts an impressive résumé, having played for several top European clubs, including Villarreal, Espanyol, Celtic FC, and Deportivo Alaves.
His wealth of experience is anticipated to bring both quality and leadership to Hearts of Oak as they push for league success.
Internationally, Wakaso has been a key figure for the Black Stars, earning 70 caps and scoring 13 goals since his debut on October 13, 2012.
He has represented Ghana in multiple Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, further underscoring his pedigree.
Should the deal be finalized, Wakaso’s addition could prove pivotal for Hearts as they aim to compete for the league title and secure a strong finish this season.
